Is the verb used here される？ Is the progressive form often shortened to remove い
from いる？

Why is it されてる and not されている？


Yes, as you thought, 案内されてる is a shortened form of 案内されている, a combination of
the verb 案内される in te-form + the subsidiary verb いる. When people use いる as
subsidiary verb, い is often dropped although people regard it as casual spoken
language.
